CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Korean Patent Application No. 2010-8951, filed on Feb. 1, 2010 in the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a liquid crystal display (“LCD”) device capable of enhancing display quality.

2. Discussion of Related Art

A liquid crystal display device includes an LCD panel and a driving device which drives the LCD panel. The LCD panel includes a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines crossing the data lines. The LCD panel further includes pixels connected to the data lines and the gate lines. The driving device includes a gate driving circuit which outputs a gate signal to the gate lines, and a data driving circuit which outputs a data signal to the data lines.

An LCD device may include several data driving circuits, and thus efforts at reducing the number of data driving circuits may reduce cost and increase driving efficiency. For example, a panel structure having two adjacent pixels that share one data line may be used to reduce the number of data driving circuits.

One data line is included for every two pixels, such that the panel structure is divided into a first area and a second area. The data line is located between two pixels in the first area and the data line is excluded from the second area. Thus, a first width of a black matrix corresponding to the first area is wider than a second width of the black matrix corresponding to the second area. However, in the panel structure in which the data lines are shared, the difference between the first and second areas in accordance with the black matrix may cause a flickering of vertical lines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

The present invention is described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments thereof are shown. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. In the drawings, the sizes and relative sizes of layers and regions may be exaggerated for clarity.

It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “connected to” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it can be directly on, connected or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. Like numerals refer to like elements throughout. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be explained in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating a liquid crystal display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view showing a pixel structure of the display panel of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the LCD device includes a data driving part 100A, a gate driving part 200 and a display panel 300.

The data driving part 100A applies data signals of alternating polarities to a plurality of data lines DLm−1, DLm and DLm+1 formed on the display panel 300 during one frame. For example, during an N-th frame, a data signal of a negative polarity (−) is applied to an (m−1)-th data line DLm−1, a data signal of a positive polarity (+) is applied to an m-th data line DLm, and a data signal of a negative polarity (−) is applied to (m+1)-th data line DLm+1. Then, during an (N+1)-th frame, a data signal of a positive polarity (+) is applied to an (m−1)-th data line DLm−1, a data signal of a negative polarity (−) is applied to an m-th data line DLm, and a data signal of a positive polarity (+) is applied to (m+1)-th data line DLm+1. Accordingly, the data driving part 100A may drive the display panel 300 in a column inversion driving method, where ‘m’ and ‘N’ are positive integers. The m-th data line DLm may be refer to the odd numbered data lines and the (m−1)-th data line DLm−1 and the (m+1)-th data line DLm+1 may refer to the even numbered data lines or vice versa.

The gate driving part 200 sequentially applies gate signals to a plurality of gate lines GLn, GLn+1, GLn+2 and GLn+3 formed on the display panel 300, where ‘n’ is a positive integer. An odd-numbered gate line and an even-numbered gate line apply gate signals to pixels included in one pixel row. The one pixel row may include a red pixel R, a green pixel G and a blue pixel B. For example, the red pixel R is electrically connected to an odd-numbered gate line, the green pixel G is electrically connected to an even-numbered gate line, and the blue pixel B is electrically connected to the odd-numbered gate line and the even-numbered gate line.

The display panel 300 includes a plurality of pixels, the data lines DLm−1, DLm and DLm+1, and the gate lines GLn, GLn+1, GLn+2 and GLn+3. The pixels are arranged in a plurality of pixel rows (e.g., PR1 and PR2) and in a plurality of pixel columns (e.g., PC1 and PC2) and may be driven in a 1×2 dot inversion method.

Each of the data lines DLm−1, DLm and DLm+1 is extended in a zigzag shape or a pulse shape along the column direction CDI to be discontinuously disposed between two pixel columns adjacent each other, and is electrically connected to two pixels adjacent along the row direction.

For example, a data line alternates between being disposed between a first pixel column and a second adjacent pixel column, and between the second pixel column and an adjacent third pixel column. The part of the data line disposed between the first and second pixel columns is connected to a corresponding pixel of the first and second pixel columns in the same row. The part of the data line disposed between the second and third pixel columns is connected to a corresponding pixel of the third pixel column and a pixel of an adjacent fourth pixel column in the same row.

For example, an m-th data line DLm extends in the column direction, and a zigzag pattern bent in a zigzag shape is repeatedly formed in a period of two pixel rows. The zigzag shape may be shaped as a series of pulses. Thus, the m-th data line DLm is discontinuously disposed between a first pixel column PC1 and a second pixel column PC2 adjacent each other. The m-th data line DLm is disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with a first pixel row PR1. However, the m-th data line DLm is not disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with a second pixel row PR2.

The m-th data line DLm includes a first wiring L1 and a second wiring L2. The first wiring L1 is disposed between a first pixel P1 and a second pixel P2 in a first pixel row PR1, and the second wiring L2 is bent in a first row direction RDI1 with respect to the first wiring L1 to be disposed between a third pixel P3 and a fourth pixel P4 in a second pixel row PR2 adjacent the first pixel row PR1.

The n-th gate line GLn is disposed above the first pixel row PR1, the (n+1)-th gate line GLn+1 is disposed below the first pixel row PR1, and the n-th gate line GLn and the (n+1)-th gate line GLn+1 are electrically connected to pixels of the first pixel row PR1, respectively.

For example, the first pixel P1 is electrically connected to the m-th data line DLm and the n-th gate line GLn, the second pixel P2 is electrically connected to the m-th data line DLm and the (n+1)-th gate line GLn+1, the third pixel P3 is electrically connected to the (m−1)-th data line DLm−1 and the (n+2)-th gate line GLn+2, and the fourth pixel P4 is electrically connected to the m-th data line DLm and the (n+3)-th gate line GLn+3. The third pixel P3 included in the second pixel column PC2 may be identical to the second pixel P2.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are cross-sectional views taken along a line I-I′ and a line II-II′ of FIG. 2. FIG. 3A shows that a storage common electrode includes a first light-blocking part A1 and a second light-blocking part A2 between the first pixel column PC1 and the second pixel column PC2. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3A, the display panel 300 includes a first substrate 310 including a plurality of thin-film transistors arrayed thereon, a second substrate 320 including a color filter and a black matrix formed thereon, and a liquid crystal layer 330 interposed between the first and second substrates 310 and 320.

The first substrate 310 includes a base substrate 301, a storage common electrode VSE, a gate insulation layer 311, an m-th data line DLm, a protection insulation layer 313 and pixel electrodes PE1, PE2, PE3 and PE5. First, second and third pixel electrodes PE1, PE2 and PE3 are included in the first, second and third pixels P1, P2 and P3, respectively. The fifth pixel electrode PE5 is included in a fifth pixel P5 adjacent the third pixel P3 in a second row direction.

The storage common electrode VSE includes a first storage line VSL1 disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with the first pixel row PR1, and a second storage line VSL2 disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with the second pixel row PR2. The first storage line VSL1 has a first width ‘a1’, and the second storage line VSL2 has a second width ‘a2’ thinner than the first width ‘a1.’

The second substrate 320 includes a base substrate 321 and a plurality of color filters CF1 and CF2 facing the pixel electrodes PE1, PE2, PE3 and PE5 and a black matrix BM. The black matrix BM is disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2. The black matrix BM is formed on an area on which the m-th data line DLm is disposed to have a first width W1, and is formed on an area excluding the m-th data line DLm to have a second width W2 that is narrower than the first width Q1. The first width W1 may be narrower than or equal to a width of the first storage line VSL1, and the second width W2 may be narrower than or equal to a width of the second storage line VSL2.

The first storage line VSL1 may define the extent of the first light-blocking part A1 in correspondence with an area on which the m-th data line DLm is disposed, and the second storage line VSL2 may define the extent of the second light-blocking part A2 in correspondence with an area on which the m-th data line DLm is excluded. The first light-blocking part A1 is disposed on an area on which the m-th data line DLm is formed, and the second light-blocking part A2 is disposed on an area on which the m-th data line DLm is excluded.

As the m-th data line DLm is discontinuously disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2, the first and second light-blocking parts A1 and A2 having widths different from each other are repeatedly formed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in a period. Thus, vertical line defects viewed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 may be prevented.

FIG. 3B shows that the black matrix BM corresponds to a first light-blocking part A1 and a second light-blocking part A2 between the first pixel column PC1 and the second pixel column PC2. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3B, the storage common electrode VSE includes a plurality of first storage lines VSL1 disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with the first pixel row PR1, and a second storage line VSL2 disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with the second pixel row PR2. The plurality of first storage lines VSL1 are disposed at two end portions of the m-th data line DLm.

The black matrix BM is disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2. The black matrix BM is formed on an area on which the m-th data line DLm is disposed to have a first width W1, and is formed on an area on which the m-th data line DLm is excluded to have a second width W2 that is narrower than the first width W1.

The black matrix BM may define the extent of the first light-blocking part A1 in correspondence with an area on which the m-th data line DLm is disposed, and may define the extent of the second light-blocking part A2 in correspondence with an area on which the m-th data line DLm is excluded.

The m-th data line DLm is bent in a zigzag shape or pulse shape to be discontinuously disposed between a first pixel column PC1 and a second pixel column PC2 adjacent each other. Accordingly, the first and second light-blocking parts A1 and A2 having widths different from each other are repeatedly formed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in a period, so that the first and second light-blocking parts A1 and A2 may prevent vertical line defects.

While it has been described that a color filter (e.g., CF1 or CF2) and a black matrix BM are formed on a second substrate 320, embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto. For example, in an alternate embodiment, at least one of the color filter (e.g., CF1 or CF2) and the black matrix BM may be formed on the first substrate 310.

FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating an LCD device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the LCD device includes a data driving part 100A, a gate driving part 200 and a display panel 400.

The data driving part 100A respectively applies data signals having alternating polarities to a plurality of data lines DLm−1, DLm and DLm+1 formed on the display panel 400 for one frame. The data driving part 100A may drive the display panel 300 in a column inversion driving method.

The gate driving part 200 sequentially applies gate signals to a plurality of gate lines GLn, GLn+1, . . . , GLn+7 formed on the display panel 400, where ‘n’ is a positive integer. An odd-numbered gate line and an even-numbered gate line apply gate signals to pixels included in one pixel row. The one pixel row includes a red pixel R, a green pixel G, and a blue pixel B. For example, the red pixel R is electrically connected to an odd-numbered gate line, the green pixel G is electrically connected to an even-numbered gate line, and the blue pixel B is electrically connected to the odd-numbered and even-numbered gate lines.

The display panel 400 includes a plurality of pixels, the data lines DLm−1, DLm and DLm+1, and the gate lines GLn, GLn+1, . . . , GLn+7. The pixels are arranged in a plurality pixel rows (e.g., PR1, PR2, PR3 and PR4) and a plurality of pixel columns (e.g., PC1 and PC2), and may be driven in a 1×2 dot inversion method.

For example, an m-th data line DLm extends in the column direction, and a zigzag pattern bent in a zigzag shape is repeatedly formed in a period of four pixel rows. The zigzag shape may include two increasing steps followed by a decreasing step. Thus, the m-th data line DLm is discontinuously disposed between the first pixel column PC1 and a second pixel column PC2 adjacent each other. The m-th data line DLm is disposed between the first and second pixel columns PC1 and PC2 in correspondence with the first pixel row PR1.

The gate driving part 200 sequentially applies gate signals to a plurality of gate lines GLn, GLn+1, . . . , GLn+7 formed on the display panel 500, where ‘n’ is a positive integer. An odd-numbered gate line and an even-numbered gate line apply gate signals to pixels included in one pixel row. The one pixel row includes a red pixel R, a green pixel G, and a blue pixel B. For example, the red pixel R is electrically connected to an odd-numbered gate line, the green pixel G is electrically connected to an even-numbered gate line, and the blue pixel B is electrically connected to the odd-numbered and even-numbered gate lines.
